Matt Barnes said he's going to foul DeAndre Jordan when the Grizzlies face the Clippers.

"I told him, 'Even though we're good friends, I'm still going to foul the beep out of you when we play,'" Barnes said. "That's just the kind of player I am. There's no hard feelings." Barnes added he and his former teammates "can be friends until the cows come home," but "if you're not wearing the same jersey, I don't know you." Jul 29 - 6:04 PM

DeAndre Jordan rejected the notion that he has personal problems with Chris Paul, saying, "I love Chris ... He helped me out in so many ways on and off the floor."

"I know it maybe looked [like we had issues] on the floor because we were both emotional and vocal players," Jordan said. "When you do butt heads on the floor, 30 seconds later it’s over because we’re all trying to win a basketball game ... But Chris is like a big brother to me and other guys on this team." This was an overblown subplot to DeAndre's dramatic offseason and the fact that he re-signed with L.A. confirms that he and CP3 are on good terms. Jul 21 - 8:48 PM

DeAndre Jordan explained why he ultimately decided to re-sign with the Clippers during Tuesday's press conference.

"This fiasco was not my intent. Initially I thought I needed a bigger role, but I realized being with [the Clippers] was best for me," said Jordan. He also went on to say that being on one team for his entire career was important to him, and that he loves living in the city of L.A. Jordan had a career-year with the Clippers last season, posting averages of 11.5 points, 15.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game on a ridiculous 71.0 percent shooting from the field. He'll be worth an early-round selection on draft day, despite the fact that he’s a 41.7 percent career free throw shooter. Jul 21 - 3:43 PM

Doc Rivers said that the feud between Chris Paul and DeAndre Jordan was "way overblown."

"It was way overblown, let me just say that," Rivers said. "It’s funny, at least his agent told me why he was leaving, and then DJ ultimately when I was able to talk to him. Chris Paul didn’t come up a lot, especially from DeAndre. When you’re the point guard and when you’re one of the other stars you’re not going to always be happy, but overall it’s a good relationship." Jordan may not be loved in Dallas, but fantasy owners shouldn’t hold that against him as his ability to single handedly win your team the shot blocking and rebounding categories on a weekly basis makes him a very fun guy to own. He'll be worth a second-round selection on draft day. Jul 16 - 4:29 PM
